We use "EASI" Extra-Amniotic Saline Infusion, as one of our multitude of induction agents.

Is anyone routinely using a transcervical foley balloon for ripening/induction? It is not expensive, has no cases of hyperstimulation that I have found and can possibly be done in outpatient settings (see Green Journal, "Transcervical Foley Catheter for Preinduction Cervical Ripening in an Outpatient versus an Inpatient Setting" Sciscione,AC. November 2001, pg 751-756).

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
